I love Supernatural (the television show) and Sims 3. Jess and I played it this afternoon and it was CRAZY.

BPOV

Ten minutes to go. I shifted uncomfortably, shifting my dress as I did so. Alice clucked her tongue impatiently and resumed doing my hair.

"Stop moving. Your dress will wrinkle." She scolded, tugging gently on my hair. "What's wrong? You look positively green."

"I'm nervous." I admitted, staring at my reflection in the mirror and chewing at my bottom lip.

"Why in God's name are you nervous?" Alice asked incredulously, raising her eyebrows at me.

I stared at her, stunned that she was unable to see why I was so nervous. "Alice, your parents are going to be there." I said, throwing my hands up into the air. "I've been on two dates with Edward, and now I'm going to be meeting his parents? I'm just so worried that things are moving too fast." I blabbed, and Alice rolled her eyes, never stopping her efforts on my hair.

"Bella, have you slept with him yet?" She asked bluntly, and my face immediately reddened.

"What!? No!" I sputtered, and Alice snickered.

"Then things aren't moving too fast." She said firmly, and then studied my reflection in the mirror. "There. You're perfect." She said with a sense of finality, gesturing to my reflection.

I glanced absentmindedly in the mirror, and my mouth fell open. Alice had somehow tamed my mess of unruly hair into a sleek, twisted updo. My makeup was subtle, and my dress was simply beautiful. Even the heels I had on felt perfect. "Oh my god, Alice, thank you!" I said happily, unable to believe that the girl in the mirror's reflection was really me.

Alice grinned and shrugged, putting away the makeup that had been scattered across the bathroom counter. "No problem. I've seen how Edward acts around you; it's obvious how much he likes you. I'm glad to be of assistance." She said simply, and I had a sudden thought.

"Alice? What's his ex wife like?" I asked abruptly, and Alice glanced up at me suddenly, startled.

"Um…Rosalie? She's…not what you would expect." She said slowly. "She and Edward had been friends for ages, and she's just like him. Honestly, though…he was never entirely happy with her."

"They have a daughter." I pointed out, and Alice smirked.

"So they had a good sex life, so what? That doesn't mean they were happy. It just means they were…physically compatible."

I shuddered a little at those words and Alice laughed.

"Bella, you just need to relax. The relationship between Edward and Rosalie has been over for six years, and he's completely crazy over you." She said in a soothing voice, and I took a deep breath.

"You're right." I finally said, and Alice smiled.

"Of course I am." She said smugly, and then glanced at her cell phone. "Alright- it's almost six now. I should get out of here before Jasper comes to pick me up." She said, giving me a quick hug and being careful not to muss my hair, dress, or makeup. "Oh, and Bella…do you think anything is going to happen tonight?" Alice asked, raising her eyebrows at me suggestively.

I blushed and ducked my head. "Alice, he's your brother!" I protested, and Alice snorted.

"I don't want the details, silly. I just want to know." She scoffed, and I sighed loudly.

"I have no idea." I admitted. "Maybe…if he wants to." I said, and Alice giggled.

"Trust me, when he gets a look of you in that dress…he'll probably want to." She said coyly, and then ran out of the bathroom before I could say anything. "I'll see you there!" She called, and I heard the door to my apartment slam shut and knew she was gone. Alice and Jasper would be at the party as well, thank god.

I didn't know if anything would happen tonight. I really did like Edward…I just didn't think it was the right time for us to have sex. I had been hurt so many times in the past…and I just wanted the next person I slept with to be the person I loved.

Edward was exactly what I was looking for. He was sweet, caring, and family-oriented. It was obvious to me that he would make an amazing lover, but I don't think our relationship is ready for that. Edward had told me that he had dated three women since his divorce- and he had slept with each of them. I didn't think there was anything wrong with that...I just didn't want to be just another notch on his headboard.

But I doubted Edward was like that. He was much too wonderful.

"I just wanted you to know that my ex wife isn't going to be here tonight." Edward informed me as we got in the car.

"Oh." I said, trying to sound nonchalant although I was relieved. "Okay."

Edward chuckled and looked me over as he pulled out of the parking lot and we headed on our way to the party. It was being held in a nearby hotel, and dinner would be served at half past seven.

I was grateful that Jasper and Alice and Emmet and Tanya would be there; at least I would know four of the people in the room.

By the time we pulled up to the valet, a lot of cars were already there. As Edward helped me out of the car, I caught a glimpse of Emmet and Tanya getting out of their car as well. Emmet wore a suit, just like Edward, and Tanya was wearing a tight black dress that fit her like a second skin. Tanya spotted us and elbowed Emmet in the ribs, nodding towards us.

"Edward, Bella!" She called, waving us over. Edward reached for my head and shot me a crooked smile that made me weak in the knees. "Hi, guys. Great to see you again!" She said, kissing each of our cheeks.

"Nice to see you again to." I said, and Emmet shook my hand warmly as he and Tanya exchanged hello's with Edward.

"So, where's Alice?" Emmet asked, peering around the hotel lobby as we headed towards the ballroom. "She and Jasper are coming tonight, right?"

Edward shrugged and squeezed my hand once. "She'll probably be here soon." He said, unconcerned. "Do you see mom and dad?" he asked, scanning the room.

Emmet and Tanya both glanced around the crowded room, and Tanya nodded after a moment. "Yeah, they're standing over there by our table." She said, gesturing towards the center of the room, where I could just make out a well dressed, older couple standing there and drinking champagne.

"Are you ready?" Edward asked me as we walked in the direction of his parents. I swallowed and nodded my head.

"Sure." I said weakly, and Edward kissed me tenderly on the lips.

Busier than you could ever imagine. I'm having Thanksgiving next weekend for some of our friends, because we'll be gone to Indiana for the real Thanksgiving. So, needless to say, I'm swamped.
